This probably won't happen, but I like to dream.

I know I might seem like I'm always quoting you, but the truth is you're a quotable person and this idea is great.
We could have editable parameters for what our custom newstory would cover.
For example, if the guy is a 90 rated player, fan favorite, and has top 10 stats as of July and he gets traded for a couple of prospects not in the top 100 then it would generate my, "What are the Pirates doing?" newstory.
We could set every one of those things and then some. And since it would be dependent on what the engine already recognizes (even something as little as the first letter of the last name being a Z) we could have an endless amount of possible newstories that we can create and then put up for download (with the ability to edit them if someone has grammatical errors or we prefer that the player be an 85 overall to generate that newstory).
